81 | Why did God put us on earth with satin? | Genesis | Lionstrong | 8191 | ||
God put us on earth with Satin because it was always a part of His plan to do so. Since God works all things after the counsel of His will, this must be so. Just as he had always planed that Jesus would be put to death by the hands of godless men (Acts 2:23), He had planned for Man to fall. And God did this in order to glorify his power, love and mercy through Christ. This is beautifully expressed in Rev. 8:13 where Jesus is identified as "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." (KJV) So, the redemption of man has always been God's plan. God didn't think of a plan after man had fallen. He's always known what he wanted to happen and how he wanted it to happen. God knows that he wants to glorify himself and he knows how he wants to glorify himself. God is going to glorify himself the way he wants to glorify himself, and everything happens according to his plan. |

83 | How meny years in BC? | Genesis | Lionstrong | 8861 | ||
Hello, Buddy, Here's an anwer Phil gave: "How old is the earth scripturally? Answer Gen 1:1 Phillip Sun 04/29/01, 11:43pm The Bible gives specific years of lifespans and timeframes of events (such as the time of slavery in Egypt) to determine the time from Adam to Solomon. There is enough agreement as to the date of the reign of Solomon that it can be added to the previous years to give us a total age of the Earth. This is approximately 6177 years according to my study. There is no exact date known because of several difficulties but the Bible is far from silent on the issue. An excellent book on the subject written by Harold Camping has a unique insight into how to date the Earth and offers an even older age of the Earth of over 13,000 years. The book is called "Adam When" and can be ordered from www.familyradio.com without charge. The book does not contradict my calculations, it simply offers insight that I did not have. I would highly recommend that you order it to see if his understanding is correct in your eyes. If anyone would like a copy of my detailed charts from Adam to Solomon so they may see for themselves, simply e-mail me at peacock@grapevine.net and I will mail them to you. In the Creator's Name, Phil" So, if the earth is 6,177 years old, then there are about 4,176 years in BC. If the earth is over 13,000 years old, then there are over 10,999 years in BC. |

84 | who was cains wife and where did she com | Genesis | Lionstrong | 18883 | ||
Welcome to the Forum, Magic!! Although you can type in "cain wife" in the Quick Search box in the upper right, I re-post these entries for your consideration. Again, welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Peace, Lionstrong ****************************** 6 who did cain marry? Answer Gen 1:1 Mark Ostertag Sat 04/21/01, 9:57pm Question: Where did Cain get his wife? The Bible teaches clearly that all human beings are descendants of Adam and Eve-thus there had to be inter-marriage between brother and sister.... Why did God not create more one couple ? Answer Lev 18:6 Lionstrong Fri 07/6/01, 1:04am Hello, Lali; Your question is a good one. I know my answer will not be complete, but hopefully it will be a good start that maybe others will finish. Your question is a moral one concerning incest. And I didn't have and answer until recently. First let me deal with what I think is a wrong answer. I believe that pragmatism is wrong, that is, what makes something right is if it is practical; does it makes sense (supposedly) practically to do so. What I've heard given is a pragmatic answer: "Siblings just had to marry because there was no one else!" This answer puts morality on a pragmatic basis rather than on the law of God where it ought to be, as you rightly see. Others may disagree, but I think my answer keeps morality where it ought to be, grounded in the law of God. My answer is not hard to understand; it's simple. It is based on the principle that to God "is due... whatsoever worship, service, or obedience He is pleased to require of them." (Westminster Confession of Faith, Chap. 2, para. 2) So if God says do not eat a certain fruit in the middle of a certain garden, then it's sin to eat that fruit. Or if He says that only certain men are to carry a certain box by means of poles, then God is justified in striking a certain Uzzah down for touching it. Contrariwise, if God rescinds a law He had given, then it is no longer sin not to keep that rescinded law. God has rescinded the ceremonial laws, so not keeping the Old Testament Passover is no longer sin. So, I hope by now you see where I'm leading, Lali. God at this point had not forbidden incest. Therefore, at this point in time it was not sin. One might object, "Well I can understand God changing a ceremonial law, but incest is immoral! Aren't the moral laws of God universal and absolute? Yes, for man they are ... as long as God requires obedience to those laws. God is not bound by the law. And man is bound by certain laws of God so long as chooses to bind him to some, any or all of his laws. |

86 | Before the Flood | Genesis | Lionstrong | 37475 | ||
It depends on what you mean by advanced, John. Welcome to the Forum! They certainly weren't morally advanced! Gen. 6:5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. But it's an intriguing question to speculate on. Man did seem to advance culturally quite rapidly, at least on Cain's side. As early as Gen. 4:17 you have the first record of a city. And with a city you might have some rudimentary form of government. By only a few generations later you have tent making, cattle farming, musical instrument making (which means musical compositions), and implements of brass and iron, which means mining. (Gen. 4:20-22) Who knows what cultural/technological advances were reached before the Flood came? Although Noah must have possessed some impressive engineering skills, judging by what it seems he and his family brought forward into the post-Flood world, the pre-Flood world seems to have been predominately an agrarian culture. What are your thoughts? Peace, Lionstrong |

Hi jimmy, Welcome to the Forum! "What are the Biblical revelations showed in Genesis 3," you ask? All of it. Since all of Gen 3 is the Bible, all of Gen 3 is God's revelation. Meusing gives some of the things revealed. But all of it is revelation. Peace, Lionstrong |

89 | scripture: siver is better then gold???? | Gen 1:1 | Lionstrong | 3526 | ||
I don't know of a verse that uses those words exactly, but it 1 Kin 10:21 it say, "All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None was of silver; it was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon." Would this not imply that Gold is better than Silver instead of the other way round? Why do you ask, May I ask? |

91 | why did God create the world | Gen 1:1 | Lionstrong | 3881 | ||
Hi JV: (and wdc:) I can't show you a verse in Gen., I think a few verses elsewhere speak to this question. (Ps 115:3) "But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases." Since God does whatever he pleases, then one answer is that God created the world because it pleased him to do so. I agree with wdc that God is completely self-sufficient and does not need anything outside of himself. But having said this, I present this next passage: Eph 3:8 To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, Eph 3:9 and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in GOD WHO CREATED ALL THINGS; Eph 3:10 SO THAT the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. (The Caps are mine.) Nestled in the midst of Paul's discourse is this nugget of God's purpose in creation. And lastly, Rom 11:36 "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen." The end of creation is not Man but God. All things are to Him. To Him be the glory forever! (I will copy and post this for wdc.) |

94 | Was Adam first or only man God created | Gen 1:1 | Lionstrong | 15020 | ||
Dear Brian G., "Where is the Bible does it specifically say that the only man created by God was Adam, as opposed to Adam being the first man created by God? Let's reword this and have you answer it: Where in the Bible does it specifically say who were the only men created by God besides Adam, as opposed to Adam being the first man created by God? You'll find nothing in the Bible that supports God making more than one human pair. If he did then the human race would not be of one man. (Acts 17:26 and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,) Now, why do you ask this question? What's your point? Peace, Lionstrong |

96 | Are there angels before earth was formed | Gen 1:1 | Lionstrong | 16635 | ||
Dear Lydzen, I copied this from one of my previous posts. The heavens are part of this creation. Note Gen 1:8 Lionstrong Wed 08/15/01, 8:43am In v. 1 it reads God created the heavens. In verse eight I note that God called the firmament (NKJV) or expanse heaven. In v. 1 heaven is plural and in v. 8 it's singular. In v. 8 is the naming of the physical (visible) heaven. Just as God created all things in the visible world, that is, in heaven and earth, He also created all things in the invisible world, that is, in one of the other heavens. God created the HEAVENS in the beginning. Although the focus (as is with the rest of Scripture) is on Man and his environment, the invisible world (one of the other heavens) was created in the beginning too, not before the beginning. In the Scripture God directs our attention to our own practical interests, Man and his environment. The focus, therefore, is on the creation of Man and his environment, and not on the creation of the other heavens and the creatures that inhabit them (although it is mentioned here to inform us of its origin). But again the heavens and all they contain were also made "In the beginning." In other words, the unseen world of the other heavens are part of this creation, not a part of a supposed first creation which was destroyed. V. 9 strengthens this notion of ONE CREATION by using the plural of heaven, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered in to one place..." In other word the HEAVENS were part of this 6 day creation. The Bible does not know two creations, only one... except for our being new creations in Christ. Peace, Lionstrong |

Dear Marg, Acts 17:26 and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, Yes, we are all descendants of Adam and Eve. This revelation from God is wonderful, in contrast to evolution, which gives no basis for the unity of the human race, and hence, no equality among men or inalienable rights endowed by their Creator. Since evoloution operates on the basis of chance, the people in Africa could have evolved from a different set of monkeys than those in Asia, the Middle East, or Europe. Peace |

100 | has the world always existed? | Gen 1:1 | Lionstrong | 50560 | ||
Dear IJELUB, You ask, "Has the world always existed? or did it have a beginning? if it began, what is your belief about how it began?" Your question is a good and fundamental question. It is one that the Bible (God’s propositional communication of real truth to man) addresses several times and in several ways. Your question is fundamental because something must have always existed; something must be eternal. The answer the Bible gives differs fundamentally with the answers of all other religions and philosophies. Secularism, atheism, or the scientific worldview teach that time, space and energy have always existed, and that the chance combination of these impersonal factors have produced the wonderful beauty and complexity of the universe. Such views leave us with no reasonable explanation for personality. love, meaning, purpose, or morality. The gods of all other religions of the world take something to make something else. Here you have two things that are eternal, the gods and “stuff.” The personal and impersonal are equally eternal. Here you have a dualism and the problems associated with it. In the Bible you have no dualism in eternity. In the Bible you have One eternal only and it is personal, the personal triune God of the Bible, the Lord God Almighty, the one and only true and living God. He shares eternity with no one and no-thing. When the Father created the heavens and the earth through the Son, he did not “step out on to space” as some poets have written. There WAS no space to step out on to! We childishly picture God hovering in space and creating worlds. Wrong picture! In fact, there should be no picture in your mind at all, not only because God is invisible, but because at creation there was no space! All there was, was God! “For in Him we live and move and have our being.” Before the Invisible Eternal God created space and everything else, all there was, was God. And unlike the gods of the world’s religions, God did not take something to created the heavens and the earth. There was nothing to take! Then how did he do it? He commanded it into existence. “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.” And God created the world for a purpose. As the above quoted evangelist went on to say: "The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all life and breath and all things; and He made from one, every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times, and the boundaries of their habitation, that they should seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His offspring.' "Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man. Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead. " Acts 17:24-31. I invite you to take advantage of the Bible study tools available to you on the Study Bible Forum, and do a word search and study of create, made, make, form, fashion, etc., and how there terms are related to God. Peace, |
